The island of Ilot Gabriel is located in the north of Mauritius, approximately 10 kilometers from Cap Malheur. Its area is only 42 hectares and is a protected nature reserve, with lush green vegetation, native flora and fauna. The island is famous for its white, powdery sandy beaches surrounded by coral reefs, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling and diving. Here you can see a wide variety of marine animals, including colorful fish, sea turtles and dolphins. The beach is relatively untouched by tourism, so you can enjoy a quiet and relaxing holiday. The image of Ilot Gabriel Island is often used as a background for postcards. You can get to the island by boat or catamaran from Grand Bay or Cap Malheur, and if you rent a boat, you can explore the island at your own pace.
